How long the system must be idle (robot START button not
pressed) before Auto Purge begins.
•
Duration:
How long the system purges in intervals of 1 second.
EXAMPLE:
If Auto Purge is enabled with the values shown at left, the
system automatically dispenses fluid for 1 second every 10 seconds at
the specified Park Position.
Run Limit
If Run Limit is enabled for a program, the number of times the system
runs a program (called a program cycle) is limited according to the
values entered for Amount and Count:

Sets the number of times a program can run.
•
Count:
Shows how many times a program has run.
To reset Count to 0, click RESET.
